Drupal.org improvements

During the past two weeks we deployed a few Bluecheese issues (#2191021, #2194421, #1195950), accessibility issues (#2095969), Project issues (#2195621, #2184161, #2125307, #2193857, #2159429. Thanks to LewisNyman, mgifford, cafuego, tim.plunkett, trobey and Mark Carver for working on them.

Drupal.org improvements

Last week we deployed a major improvement for issue page workflow: https://drupal.org/node/2159813. The issue edit form is back on the issue page, instead of the standard comment form. Huge thanks to webchick, Mark Carver, sanchiz, Bojhan, joachim and everyone else who worked on the issue.

Recently we published our Tech team plan for the first quarter of 2014. To ensure that we are not only telling you about our plans, but also update on the progress as we go, we are bringing back our traditional bi-weekly ‘week notes’ posts. Welcome to the first week notes of 2014!

Drupal 7 upgrade cleanup

We managed to fix quite a few critical and major issues in the past 2 weeks. Project usage and download statistics are now fixed, text search is improving...

Last week we were at our historical minimum for Drupal.org D7 upgrade - 36 open issues only! We did fix some and did open some more since then. Current count is 49 open issues, 70% of which are issues discovered via our BDD test runs.

D7 upgrade stats this week: 56 open issues out of 236 total! In other words: 76,3% fixed and 23,7% to go. Test stats also look much better. 827 documented and automated scenarios for Drupal.org. 74,3% of them are passing. Visibility is around 88%, which means that roughly 12% of the steps are being skipped because they follow a step failure.

This week our notes are all about the Drupal.org D7 upgrade.

We are currently at 70 open issues out of 212 total. Which means we fixed 68% and have 32% to go. This matches our hours spent as well. We projected 940 hours, and are currently at 68.5% spent and 31.5% left. And we do still have about half of the budget left. Though not all invoices came in yet, so this number might be a little lower. As we enter the QA phase, we expect the number of open issues to go up, which is natural.

It's been a month since DrupalCon Portland and oh what a busy month has it been! Quick notes below.

Drupal 7 upgrade

The upgrade project slowed down due to recent events. There was limited progress for 2 weeks following the security incident as everyone was working on security hardening. We started slowly to get up to speed again last week and the open issues count should be going down again soon.

Drupal.org D7 upgrade

The D7 upgrade project is doing pretty good! We re-started the project having 122 open issues tagged ‘Drupal.org D7’. We are currently at 84 open issues. Fixed issues count went from 320 up to 372 issues.

The Drupal.org D7 upgrade project is active again and we are back with our regular week notes! During the past couple of months we mostly kept quiet because drumm and I were busy with various non-Drupal.org related tasks, such as the DrupalCon websites, association.drupal.org, etc. For the coming weeks the Drupal.org D7 upgrade is our top priority.

Past month(s) we all have been very busy working on Drupal 7 upgrade of our website. Below are latest updates on the project status from Joel ‘Senpai’ Farris.
